Dragon Codex

The Dragon Codex is a book of Dragons, it unlocks after Breeding, Hatching, and housing the first Smoke Dragon. The codex's primary function is providing up-to-date information on Dragons. Once unlocked, the codex is accessed by pressing the button at the middle-right of the main Archipelago screen.

Codex Parts

The main parts of the codex are:

• Collections - Groups of Dragons to collect for rewards.
• Dragon Codex - The complete codex of all Dragons that appeared during the time the Trainer played.
  • The top count is the number of Dragons owned, separated by a slash, then the total number of Dragons added to the game data (regardless of availability or appearance during the current update).
• My Dragons - All Dragons owned and hatched.
• Leaderboard - Opens the Dragon Collector Leaderboard.

Collections

Collections are groups of Dragons collected for various rewards. Collections are grouped into categories or themes such as early game Dragons, all Common/Uncommon Normally-Breedable Dragons of an Element, Dragons required for Breedable Legendaries, Dungeon-Exclusive Dragon, VIP-Exclusive Dragon, and so on. Some collections have stages, providing greater rewards upon completion of further tasks, or themed seasons. Meta collections are collections of other collections providing rewards. Completed collections are always listed below uncompleted ones.

Showcased Information

Each collection displays the collection name, Dragon snapshot or full-size image of collection rewards, and the percentage of players having completed the respective collection. Dragons display a symbol once collected, and pressing collection reward Dragons only (un)hides the collection, instead of opening their Codex Entry.

Hiding

Collections are hidden by pressing the button, and unhidden using the button. When hidden, regular collections display only the collection title, while Meta Collections still display the reward Dragons and those necessary for completion. Sub-collections are completely hidden until deliberately unhidden, or until a new Dragon from a collection is hatched.

Meta Collections

Meta Collections are collections within other collections, where Dragons follow that same theme. The only requirement to receive reward Dragons is to hatch and place the required Dragons.

Fairytale Megabitat

Breeding 12 Dragon of the Month Dragons is required to complete the four codex collections below. If all four collections are completed, the 5×5 special habitat reward pieces can be merged to form a single 10×10 Megabitat.

Note: Although the collections below are structured similarly to meta collections, and provide a reward similarly, the individual sub-collections are treated as separate in-game; thus, once a "sub-collection" is completed, it is sent to the bottom of the Collections tab rather than remaining grouped with its counterparts. Such collections are grouped here for clarity purposes.

Dragon Codex

The Dragon Codex tab gives an overall count of Dragons that have been, and can be, obtained (excluding Chronos or Clan Dragons). A progress indicator shows total progress towards collecting all Dragons. A snapshot of each Dragon appears below this, with sorting and filtering options for searching.

The buttons at the right of the codex allow filtering:

By selecting a Rarity:

          

By selecting a specific Element (which shows any Dragon with that Element):

•                

By selecting a specific Source:

• Normally-Breedable Dragons.
• Boss Dragons.
• Card Dragons.
• Limited-Time Dragons.
• VIP Dragons.
• Dungeon Dragons (only Dungeon Shop).
• Enchantment Dragons.
• Campaign Map Reward Dragons.
• Card Dragons from Clan Events.
• Arena Dragons.
• Token Dragons (Only Permanent Token Dragons).
• All (Dragons) to reset this filter.

By searching:

• Search Dragon (excl - Text field to search by species name.

The drop-down menu has two options:

• Default Order – Sorting by LTD Dragons first, and allowing Order by rarity sorting.
• 🡅🡇 Order by rarity – Sorting by Not owned first, and allowing All, and Not owned.

The second drop-down is for showing one of 3 options:

• All – Show all (once considered available) Dragons.
• Owned – Show owned Dragons only.
• Not owned – Show not owned Dragons only.

Note: Filtering is not reset automatically to the default when the codex is closed, the Trainer must manually clear the search bar and set all other filters back to to reset to an unfiltered state.

Snapshots

Dragon shapshots contain a mugshot, Elements, Skill levels (in some areas of the game), Type/Rarity, Enchantment Stars, Sigils (if equipped), an icon representing obtainment method (if not a regularly breedable Dragon), and a green checkmark if obtained. Non-obtained Dragons have a grayed-out snapshot and if they are a Limited-Time Dragon, Event-Only Dragon, or are offered in a promotion etc., display an availability countdown. The Elements of Dragons whose secondary Elements need to be awoken are visible, but grayed-out and marked with the icon.

Information for Dragons is viewed by selecting their snapshot, which opens their Codex Entry.

 See Codex Entries for information about what appears in codex entries.

Duplicates

The Codex allows purchasing additional Dragon eggs for any Dragon previously obtained, as long as they can be purchased with Gold or Gems. Boss Dragons and regular Dragons that can be bred normally or within a limited-time period, along with the active VIP Dragons, can always be purchased, regardless whether the Trainer has them on their islands or not. Boss Dragons can only be purchased once, with limited exceptions, and only if they have been unlocked by defeating them in Normal Mode.

My Dragons

The My Dragons tab displays the snapshots of all Dragons currently owned by the Trainer, displaying the almost identical filtering and sorting options as the Dragon Codex tab.

Dragon Collection The DML Planner Dragons function allows Trainers to track of their current Dragon Collection. Numerous search options are provided to rapidly filter between, and find, Dragons to add to the collector's stable of Dragons, which are then saved via Settings > Login. This aids in other planner functions and game activities such as planning for Dragon Leveling, Enchantment, Sigils, Temples and more. Read more about this sister project, the DML Planner made by Toomas, a DML community member.

Codex Entries

A Codex Entry is the Dragon Info or visiting card of a Dragon, which displays its complete information. They are accessed by pressing the snapshot or image in Dragon Codex tabs or from multiple other places including, but not limited to, Main Shop, Inventory, events, and by pressing the i button when visiting the Dragon in their Habitat.

Information displayed (excluding Boss Dragons) includes level, rarity, Enchantment Stars, species name, given name, stats, Dragon Collector Points, Gold per Hour, Elements, codex description, skills and Sigils. At the bottom-left of a Dragon's image, the button displays the egg of that Dragon, and the button switches back to the current form.

For Dragons not yet owned, a button may appear at the bottom bringing the Trainer to the place where the Dragon can be obtained, the dragon cost, or text describing how the Dragon can be obtained. For owned Dragons, the following buttons appear:

• More Options – Opens a submenu of multiple other options:
  • Visit – Visit the Dragon in its Habitat.
  • Vault – Move the Dragon to the Vault (if space is available)
  • Rename – Rename the Dragon.
  • Sell – Sell the Dragon.
  • Move – Move the Dragon.
• Learn – Send the Dragon to Dragon Academy to learn and unlock Skills.
• Equip Sigil – Equip a Sigil.

In the top-right, there's also a button to

• – Opens the Augmented Reality feature.

Note: In the case of unobtained Card-Segment Dragon, in the Dragon Codex tab, a counter is shown under their image displaying the amount of Dragon Pieces currently had, separated by a slash from the total number needed to obtain it.

Boss Dragons

Codex Entries for Boss Dragons display its full image, name, Dragon Collector Points, its Powers, a brief description, and options to:

• Sell – To sell the Dragon for Gold (no gems are recovered when selling, and use of its powers are lost).
